Benefits of technology

[0018]The SDR according to the present invention can be employed to implement a reliable datagram service according to the present invention which re-uses the same destination SDR resource set per multiple destination AIs. Thus, the reliable datagram service according to the present invention reduces the number of SDR resource sets to create and manage which accordingly reduces AI implementation cost and design complexity. Therefore, the reliable datagram service according to the present invention provides for highly scalable data processing systems.
[0019]Yet, the reliable datagram service according to the present invention, provides rel

Operations

[0067]An example transmission operation between source device A indicated at202 and destination device C indicated at 206 for data processing system 200 is illustrated in diagram form in FIG. 6. As indicated in FIG. 6, SDR resources 212a at source device 202 include a queue 240 holding transmitted but not ACKed units of work and a queue 242 holding units of work not yet transmitted. At the time indicated in FIG. 6, queue 240 includes the following units of work: UW1; UW2; UW3; UW4; and UW5. The units of work held in queue 240 have been processed and transmitted by SDR resources 212a of source device 202. At the time indicated in FIG. 6, queue 242 includes the following units of work: UW6; UW7; UW8; and UW9. SDR resources 212a also store an expected next sequence number value 244 which is equal to 6 at the time indicated in FIG. 6. SDR resources 212a also store an ACK value 246, which is equal to 0 at the time indicated in FIG. 6.

Abstract

A reliable datagram service is implemented with a source and destination resource (SDR). Source SDR resources, at a source device, multiplex units of work produced by at least one source application instance (AI) into a serial unit of work stream having units of work in a defined order and transmit the serial unit of work stream over a communication services/fabric. Destination SDR resources, at a destination device, receive the serial unit of work stream, demultiplex the serial unit of work stream into units of work provided to at least one destination AI, and provide a negative acknowledgement (NAK) for a unit of work received ahead of its defined order.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Non-Provisional Utility Patent Application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Applications Ser. No. 60 / 135,664, filed May 24, 1999; and Ser. No. 60 / 154,150, filed Sep. 15, 1999, both of which are herein incorporated by reference.THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to data processing, and more particularly to communication between distributed application instances via a reliable datagram service.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In conventional data processing systems, distributed application instances typically employ transport services, such as a reliable connection service or an unreliable datagram service, to communicate. An application instance is herein defined to be a producer or a consumer of data in the data processing system. An application instance can be implemented in software, hardware, or firmware, or in any combination of these. A unit of work is herein defined ...
